He works a job he hates for a boss he can’t stand. It seems that his dreams have died, and what’s worse is he doesn’t seem to care. He can’t even get excited about going camping with his closest friends. But when their vehicle is caught in a strange storm the four friends suddenly find themselves on world that is anything but stagnant. Instead they find themselves on an adventure in a strange place with advanced technology and creatures beyond their wildest imaginations, When the guys learn that getting home won’t be easy, they decide to make the best of their time on this planet by trying new things and making some strange new friends. But as they start to notice changes within themselves and get caught in the web of politics, getting home becomes the least of their worries, as they suddenly find themselves in a struggle that may just cost them their lives.

About the author

Phillip Drayer Duncan has written over ten novels and is the only author who has ever sponsored a racecar…probably. His work has been published by Yard Dog Press, Pro Se Productions, Seventh Star Press, and Happy Omega Publishing.

Along with reading and writing, he enjoys kayaking, fishing, video games, and telling bad jokes. Phillip’s natural habitats include the rivers and lakes of the Ozarks, but he may also be spotted at a con or concert. During the cold season, he hibernates beneath a pile of books and video games. He is generally an approachable creature; however, it’s best to give him snacks to ensure he won’t bite. Cookies are best.

His earliest books were acted out with action figures and scribbled into notebooks. Today, he uses a computer like a real grownup, though he refuses to act his age the rest of the time. If it would pay his bills, he’d be playing with G.I. Joes right now.

His greatest dream in life is to become a Jedi, but since that hasn’t happened yet, he focuses on writing and eagerly awaits the next season of Firefly. He demanded we mention that he is a best smelling author.

Reviews

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a light-hearted buddy scifi book. Somehow a group of buddies gets magically transported to another world and has to deal with that situation. The book is slow to develop but once you get past that and the guys meet the "ruler" of the planet the fun really beings. Until interplanetary politics get in the way! The main characters have to make the transition for good old boys to fearless heroes before it is all said and done. While the action is concluded well, we are left with a bit of a cliff hanger as to what happens to our new best friends (humans and aliens alike) next. Hope the next book in the series isn't to far away!
